They're downplaying the Lewis and Hackett fight but apparently there were numerous eye witnesses that said the players had to be separated.

Pondexter from UW said it was sad, during the game the USC players were arguing, screaming at each other etc he said they're a good team, very talented but it's hard to play when you're fighting with each other.

they actually explained the fight in the LA Daily News yesterday.

Seems there's a local barber who cuts the hair for many of the USC players including both Hackett and Lewis. For some reason, hackett blamed the barber for the recent ESPN Outside the Lines story that featured Hackett and his dad as an obvious package deal(and pointed out the NCAA did NOT know Hackett wasn't on scholarship but got free tuition as the son of a USC employee).

So after the game Hackett went after the barber who was in the crowd at the game. Lewis defended the barber, the fight ensued. hackett was apparently so furious he came out again after everything had died down, and had to be restrained by security again.

USC has had no official comment and according to Daily News writer Scott Wolf no suspensions are other disciplinary action is expected, Floyd considers it just a normal thing that happens, just happened to be seen by the public this time.
